There goes the business model. Seems to me the whole point of Amazon was to develop distributed and digital processes. Why tinker with what works and go down the whole elephant-choking infrastructure route? For the cost of these buildings, top talent around the globe can be connected and profitable.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f73bad86bb3f7844800000bouroborosWed, 28 Mar 2012 21:28:56 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f73bad86bb3f7844800000b
I didn't say there were slums, I said that it is kind of slummy in certain areas. I have lived in Washington State my entire life, and yes it rarely gets below 20 degrees or above 95, but it is way too cloudy. I grew up in Olympia, and it is in the top 5 cloudiest cities in the lower 48. Bill you are way too sensitive! Which is about right, Seattleites are very thin skinned ;)
For the record I still love the state, just not a fan of the city.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f739fec6bb3f7701800000cBillWed, 28 Mar 2012 19:34:04 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f739fec6bb3f7701800000c
And just where are the slums in downtown Seattle? It is obvious that you have not been to Seattle in more than a decade. Also most of us who live here like the fact that it is never too cold in the winter nor too hot in the summer. With such a sour attitude as yours to make such idiotic generalizations we are glad you are gone!http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f73953b69bedd850c000009ouroborosWed, 28 Mar 2012 18:48:27 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f73953b69bedd850c000009
Everyone seems to think Seattle is awesome. I lived there for 2 years, and it's only nice about 3 months of the year. Downtown isn't that great either, it's kind of slummy...http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f739229ecad045c27000076Tax CollectorWed, 28 Mar 2012 18:35:21 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f739229ecad045c27000076
Wow, you mean there's actually a corporation left in the US who hasn't been taxed into oblivion? They'd better build this quick before Obatma gets re-elected...'cuz after that, they won't have any money at all, unless they move their headquarters out of the country....http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f73906aecad045f2f000026Matthew HurstWed, 28 Mar 2012 18:27:54 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f73906aecad045f2f000026
At 37 stories tall, wouldn't that make Amazon's new office the largest retail space in the world? I often hear that Macy's flagship in NYC is the largest, but I'd wonder if the same might apply to Amazon in Seattle. Also, Seattle is home to a few department store chains of their own...http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f73771569bedddd4400002dDMWed, 28 Mar 2012 16:39:49 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f73771569bedddd4400002d
Yep, you can see the Space Needle in the lower-righthand corner of the image on slide 1, and the Space Needle is north of downtown, not south of downtown.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f73764469beddb24700000bxgene123Wed, 28 Mar 2012 16:36:20 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f73764469beddb24700000b
I believe your map view is looking South, so that would be just North of downtown.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f7374006bb3f7074f00000axgene123Wed, 28 Mar 2012 16:26:40 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f7374006bb3f7074f00000a
